39 Couples Nightmare (1/2)

The inn was very lively at lunchtime. In addition to other travelers who arrived, the mercenary group already filled almost every space in the hall.

While people were talking about different subjects, the captain and Han bo ate in silence as the mood was not very good among them because of complaints about Guan Zexi.

A waitress arrived with another plate of meat on their table. The innkeeper knew how to recognize people very well and thought that the mercenaries were very important people that they might not offend but should please.

When Han Bo was about to thank the waitress for the food, the captain kicked his chair quickly. As they were sitting next to each other, it was not difficult for the captain to make a move while still seated.

Han Bo was a little weaker than the captain, which was quite a success as the difference between their ages was considerably large. But even with his high speed, Han Bo was thrown away from the table and was confused for a second before realizing that the captain had helped him.

The wall behind the balcony was broken by a man who continued flying towards the chair that Han Bo was sitting on, and as the captain realized this, he kicked Han Bo's chair just in time to prevent them from colliding.

”What the fuck?”

Han Bo was perplexed wondering why someone would throw a man at him. But as he went towards the man who was thrown on the floor near the table, the captain kept quietly eating as if nothing had happened.

He was paying attention to Guan Zexi's movements since she came out of the bathroom and had no difficulty listening to everything going on in the kitchen with his excellent senses. The captain's only doubt was whether he would have to interfere.

The man who was thrown through the wall was surely the loyal husband who did not want to have fun with Guan Zexi. Before Han Bo could get close to questioning him, he heard her sinister laugh.

”It was so simple! You only had to serve me, and in return, you would have had a great pleasure that many can only dream of having. But you had to complicate everything!”

Guan Zexi was very irritated for being rejected and would not have peace before making the man pay profoundly for that insult. She then grabbed the arm of the wife, who was trying to escape while crying rivers of tears in fear.

Everyone in the hall fell silent as they stared at the scene in surprise. No mercenaries there felt sorry for the man, and they just wanted to see a good show.

The man tried to get up, but as he was just a cultivator of the Qi Refinement first layer, he could not help but moan by the pain coming from his broken arm. He looked at the hole in the wall while he was still on the floor only to be desperate to see his wife crying while trying to escape from Guan Zexi.

”Please, my lady, at least have mercy on my wife as she has nothing to do with that matter.”

But Guan Xi was not known for being merciful. The suffering and regret she saw on the man's face were like a portion of delicious exotic food that Guan Zexi would enjoy until the last bit.

She took the woman by the hair and started kicking her in the belly. Guan Zexi could feel that the woman was not a cultivator, so she attacked her with little force to hurt without killing.

It was a brutal scene to see Guan Zexi beating the poor woman while her husband was crying on the floor without being able to do anything. He tried to get up again but was kicked by another mercenary causing the whole group to start laughing.

The other people in the kitchen had already run to the second floor of the inn, and a waitress recalled that a very big adventurer who looked extremely strong was sleeping in one of the rooms. He had arrived at night quite tired, but after sleeping until lunchtime, he should be fine now.

When the waitress woke up the adventurer and asked for his help, he didn't think twice before going down to see how the situation was going. Despite being very big and muscular, the adventurer was still a cultivator of the Qi Refinement middle-stage.

When he arrived at the hall, he couldn't help but be surprised because he saw the mercenary group laughing as they watched Guan Zexi beat up a woman and some men kicking a guy on the floor. He recognized the woman as a kind cook, and even being afraid of such a large group, he still tried to reason with them.

”Please, guys. These people are kind and straightforward. Even though they have offended you, we can still come to a less brutal conclusion.”

Everyone was laughing while they continued to drink, and nobody noticed the adventurer trying to talk, or they just didn't care about him. But Guan Zexi stopped hitting the woman who was already bleeding all over her mangled body. She threw the woman on the floor and started kicking her while looking at the adventurer.

”What if I don't stop? Will you stop me?”

The adventurer did not consider himself a hero or anything like that, but he had slept in this inn many times and liked the people here. When he saw the condition of the cook, he could not help himself anymore and ran towards Guan Zexi while bringing an ax out of his magic backpack.

*Woosh*

When the adventurer was almost arriving in Guan Zexi, he felt a wind pass through him, and then his vision went dark when a cold assaulted his belly. He looked down only to see a sword's blade going through his body, so he concluded that someone hit him from behind before closing his eyes to salute the afterlife.

The captain, even eating in silence, was still paying attention to the situation, and when he saw the adventurer went towards Guan Zexi, he did not want to take any risks by killing him quickly. He took the long sword from the adventurer's chest and swung it to wipe the blood while returning to the table.

Everyone was silent when the captain made his move. When he returned to the table, the mercenaries hit the mugs on the table while shouting praises at him. Guan Zexi couldn't help but smile while she provoked him.

”So, our beloved captain also wants to have fun?”

The captain was not someone who liked to torture others for pleasure or anything like that. He is undoubtedly a ruthless mercenary, but he did everything in order to save money to live his last days in peace in a remote place, possibly with some handsome young man.

But some things were out of his control. Guan Zexi was someone he couldn't offend for any reason, so letting her kill everyone at the inn was much better than trying to stop her. But he still made his point clear while eating calmly.

”Don't get me into your bizarre games. I just have to be sure to escort you in perfect conditions.”
